I always knew NYU was meant for me. After getting rejected as a first-time freshman, I did not get easily discouraged, instead, I devoted two amazing learning years to nursing prerequisites at Cypress College, viewing this setback as an opportunity for growth and improvement in all aspects of my life. As I wrap up my journey at community college to take the next step in my life, I ask myself, “How will I be able to make a difference in healthcare and make efforts to positively change my community?” As a first-generation college student who's been surrounded by Hispanics throughout my life, I know how stubborn and scared my community is to get the medical attention they need and deserve. Working as a bilingual nursing assistant, I have created …show more content…

As I progressed through my coursework at college and furthered my experience in healthcare, I soon realized that my aspirations went beyond simply earning a nursing degree. I yearned for a program that would not only provide a top-notch education, but also offer unique opportunities for personal and professional growth. Looking forward, NYU’s objectives and values perfectly align and relate to me more than ever. I strongly believe that NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing will, without a doubt, help me reach my fullest potential and succeed as an individual in school and beyond. With endless opportunities at NYU, I’ll not only be able to get the best nursing education, but I’ll also be able to extend my skills as a Hispanic individual to advocate and help within my community. I look forward to courses such as Advanced Spanish Conversations for the Medical Professionals and clubs offered to promote cultural competence and sensitivity such as Latinos Aspiring To Imagine Nursing Opportunities. Similarly, to advocating for Latinos, I strive to understand and contribute to different communities

The unique backgrounds of its community members creates a compelling dynamic in and out of the classroom experience.

At the root of Loyola’s Mission statement is the idea of global solidarity, making sure that students are educated and aware of real world problems as well as society and culture (Loyola University Chicago, 2017, Mission). Students at Loyola and in the Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing are constantly taught to advocate for the rights of others and especially those who are marginalized. Nursing’s Social Policy Statement, therefore, is directly consistent with Loyola’s traditions of dedication to those in need. According to the American Nurses Association (2010), “quality healthcare is a human right for all” (p. 4). Nurses are taught to provide the best possible healthcare to all people regardless of cultural, social, or economic standing.

I find OU-HCOM especially attractive because it trains students to reach beyond the standard medical training regimen and encourages students to become physician leaders, to implement research into their practice, to strive to improve care, and to build a collaborative environment between physician and patient, where the patient is a true partner in pursuing health. Attending OU-HCOM will afford me the opportunity to gain additional experience in working with underserved populations through the many clinics and community programs that are offered in my home state of Ohio, such as free diabetes clinics, the heritage community clinic, and more. I aim to work towards a health care system that delivers equal care to underserved communities and to serve these communities in three capacities: holistic medical treatment, translational biomedical research, and volunteer work at free clinics. I am confident that OU-HCOM will prepare me to be a well-versed physician-scientist and leader in the community in which I will

We will need people to assess patients, administer medication, care for our wounds, educate us, and advocate for us as a society if we are to prosper and grow healthy. When I become a nurse, I plan to advocate for change in order to help my community grow and prosper. It is no secret that white people dominate most career demographics, and this is especially evident in nursing, where 80% are white, 7.2% are Asian, and 6.7% are African American.
